GED® Classes

Introduction

Adult Education classes are designed for people who have not completed high school. Men and women study individual materials that are on their own level and progress at their own speed. Students preparing to take the GED® test are given instruction in Reasoning through Language Arts, (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science and Social Studies. Although some students may need a minimal preparation, others may need to attend classes for a year or longer. Students are encouraged to take a section of the test whenever they, and the instructor, feel the results will be positive. The GED® test consists of four individual tests: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Social Studies, and Science. In order to receive a Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency, a student must pass all 4 tests with a combined score of 600 or higher, and with no one test scoring below 150. Successful completion of the GED® tests may be necessary for a job qualification, or it also may qualify the student for college or technical school admission.

Placement scores: Fail 149 or less -- Pass 150-169 (The college readiness score of 170 or above will not exempt a student from the TSI placement if he wishes to attend college).
